GP: Trump Hints at Eliminating Federal Income Tax—Explains How He’d Replace The Tax Revenue

quote:

First, he proposed no tax on tips, then no tax on overtime for hourly workers, and now, the man who connects more with the lower, middle, and upper earners than any President in recent history, is talking about giving every American the biggest tax break they’ve ever experienced—NO tax—at least no federal taxes.

Earlier this week, President Trump stopped by a Bronx barbershop with Fox News personality Lawrence Jones. There, he talked about inflation and taxes with the all-male clientele, barbers, the barbershop’s owner, and his father.

One male barber asked President Trump, “Do you believe that at some point and time, once the country’s back on its feet, and getting enough revenue, and paying off our debt, do you think it’s possible to find a way to eliminate federal taxes?”

Trump said,” There is a way! There is a way!” he repeated, explaining, “You know, in the old days, when we were smart, a smart country—in the 1890s, our country was relatively the richest it ever was.” He continued, “It had all tariffs; it didn’t have an income tax.”

The idea can be solid if implemented right

The idea was so solid that we already had to ditch it once because it didn't raise enough money and only raised consumer prices.

No. The math doesn't work.

Now this is how you get people to pay their fair share!

Everybody wants lower taxes / no taxes. But til you lay out a plan how it will work most people won't get behind it. I'm in my 70's and my SS and Medicare is why I can keep my head above water. But he has to lay out a plan to prove to me it will work.

You rubes really think this will happen? Lol

Any tax policy unless already legislatively abdicated by congress to the executive has to pass congress. Great to talk about but Congress implements tax policy for the most part.
